Description: Rachel Johannes, a young aspiring restaurateur living in Los Angeles, is forced to revisit her complex and troubling past when her abusive father dies unexpectedly on the family farm in her small Midwestern hometown. Although initially drawing comfort from her younger sister Izzy when she arrives for the funeral, Rachel comes to understand that their shared trauma from the past affects them both powerfully in their current lives. The sisters are thrown even more off balance by the sudden arrival of their brother Yale, long estranged from the family. Although the three share a bond of mutual experiences and family ties, long-buried emotions and painful memories, a darker secret gradually surfaces and threatens to drive them apart.
